This is one of my recipes to get into a good mood instantly: looking at pictures of Madonna and Sean Penn. It’s totally useless for other people, but for me there is “something”. Back then, as a couple they had this aura of a huge firecracker, that could go off any minute. They carried dreams. Famous girl meets famous boy and they get in trouble. They did all these ridiculous things that people do if they are young, rich and famous. For example getting married on a dangerous cliff in Malibu. Or dressing like a clown. I didn’t matter. You wanted to stare at them and their battle with catholicism, breaking free from an italian and irish background , that was holding them back. (Think small and hope that god likes you better!) Two pretty egos. They did all kind of crazy things. One of them: Sean Penn tied Madonna to a chair and wasn’t nice to her. Really bad. She forgave him later and “invited” him to the birth of her daughter Lourdes. Yesterday, they met at at party in NYC and I have to admit, I still like staring at them. They are not cold. They are not old. They will never be.
